Seriake Dickson: I belong to NDC, not Obidient nor Kwankwasiyya
National leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Seriake Dickson, has clarified that he does not belong to either the Obidient or Kwankwasiyya political movements.
Dickson made this known during an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time programme on Wednesday.
The former Bayelsa State governor said his only political affiliation is with the NDC, stressing that he is not a member of any of the two movements.
He explained that the Obidient and Kwankwasiyya movements have their own identities and are free to operate independently.
However, Dickson noted that the leaders of the two movements are now the NDC’s presidential and vice-presidential candidates for the 2027 general election.
“First of all, I’m not a member of Kwankwasiyya, and I’m not a member of Obidient. I’m NDC. These candidates (Peter Obi and Kwankwaso) and other candidates, none of them are running as independents, they are running on the NDC.
“I have held several meetings with them and even before now, we used to meet over the years. We have been colleagues and partners and friends. Sometimes in the same camp, in the same party, other times in different parties, but we’re always meeting and comparing notes.
“So it’s not strange working together on this. We have a partnership that is committed to winning the next elections, that is the most important thing.
“So at this point, we expect everyone to go to the field, make the case to the Nigerian people. There are no internal battles to fight in the NDC. The next stage of the battle strategically is to win the election,” he said.
